Official Speculation Thread (Pt. XXIII: Offseason Edition)

ADRajX · Post #1 » by **ADRajX** » Wed May 9, 2012 1:36 am

*Okay this time when a speculation thread reaches 100 pages, someone else (users/mods) besides me will make the next thread parts.

Sound good?*

EDIT: DON'T worry about keeping track of the total posts/pages when you're making these threads. It's not a big deal, so no worries.

Let's get this party started now! I figured this would cheer us up.

STRAP-IN!!!

Let's have some fun this summer/offseason! Shake off last season's woes, and let's look forward to next season's potential.

Fire Stan & Otis simultaneously. That's a good start.

GROUP HUG EVERYONE! :hug:

But seriously though, you're the man with making these threads this time around eyriq (you and the rest of the mods and users)... you're running this show. No more Speculation threads coming from me after this one... I need a break... it's all on you guys after this. :lol:

Nemesis21 · Post #8 » by **Nemesis21** » Wed May 9, 2012 1:44 am

I'm looking forward to a new GM, an entirely new coaching staff, and some new players.

MagicGirl · Post #9 » by **MagicGirl** » Wed May 9, 2012 1:44 am

All I care about is we are a better team next year. If it takes firing Otis, making major trades, getting a new coach - I don't care. WHATEVER IT TAKES.

I take it back

Coach_McGuirk · Post #12 » by **Coach_McGuirk** » Wed May 9, 2012 1:46 am

The good thing is, we were pretty decent without Dwight. That should show him that we are almost there. Just a few adjustments and we are good to go.

Well the good news is I doubt this will reach Part 24 anytime before the Finals. So you're good.

ChildishGambino · Post #14 » by **ChildishGambino** » Wed May 9, 2012 1:47 am

Glad it's back....disappointed we lost but optimistic on our offseason.....i want fresh faces from top to bottom....starting with the front office....Otis needs his GM hat confiscated....Stan has probably coached his final game....I think i heard somewhere that Jeff Van Gundy was insinuating that Stan might quit or something like that because Stan doesn't want to go through the same Dwight thing the next season....

Post #15 » by **Bensational** » Wed May 9, 2012 1:47 am

it's good to have this thread back!

highlights of this season:

1) Dwight opting in.
2) speculation threads.
3) Glen stepping up in the playoffs.

here's looking forward to a summer of BIG changes.

Stan says he wants to come back, but he says it's "up to them" and "I don't really care"

SVG: "if they want to fire me, fire me. I don't give a damn"

Stan is one stubborn cocky whiny SOB.
